Greenwood Cemetery - Petoskey

The cemetery was established on land purchased by William Little in the fall of 1875 in his position as Supervisor of Bear Creek Township. He was also Petoskey's first doctor. Sadly, it wasn't long after this purchase that Dr. Little died at the age of 33 on Nov. 19, 1875, and was subsequently the second person buried in the new cemetery. The first, was 29-year-old Hattie L. Tracy, who died Oct. 16, 1875.

Greenwood Cemetery was incorporated by an act of the Michigan State Legislature in 1897, becoming the cemetery for Bear Creek Township, the City of Petoskey and Resort Township. The Board that has oversight of cemetery operations consists of three representatives from the City of Petoskey, one representative from Bear Creek Township and one representative from Resort Township. Each person is appointed by their unit of government for a term of five years and serves with no pay.
